I was thinking that maybe I need to somehow use a command that forwards packets from enp3s0 to tun0? Is that how it works? I connect to the internet through enp3s0=>tun0=>VPN Server=>Internet? I'm really out of my depth here and I just don't have the time to research all of it. I have already been trying for 4 hours. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Poly

Those rules are for if you are connecting to OpenVPN directly on a router - you do not need to use any firewall rules other than to allow incoming/outgoing on the ports you want to open and connect via the correct IP/cipher/protocol - do you have a dedicated IP? Please make the request here from within your account area dashboard >> Management Actions >> Request Port Forward

Before making the request you would normally connect to the location you want and then visit iplocation.net and enter this IP that it shows you, we would suggest doing some speed tests and finding the right server for you first.

Regards

Thanks for your help. I only just realised you had replied so sorry for the late response. What do you mean by connect via correct IP/cipher/protocol? What do you mean by dedicated IP? I have already requested the ports to be forwarded in the dashboard through the server that I generally use. At the moment I have all the ports open in the firewall that I need open and I have requested the ports to be forwarded in the dashboard but I still can't get them to work.

Are you connecting directly to the IP that you used to request the port forward?

I'm trying to figure out how to do that. I tried using the ovpn generator but when I connect it work but when I try to browse to a web page it just hangs on connecting until I get a notification saying the VPN connection failed.
